Netflix has announced it has taken over the historic Paris cinema in New York. It's the first time the streaming giant - which has been accused of threatening the cinema experience - has taken a long-term lease to screen its films. It is 71 years since screen legend Marlene Dietrich cut the ribbon to open the Paris, which became one of America's most notable art house cinemas. It is New York's last single screen cinema and had closed in late August. There has been some animosity towards streaming services in recent years from those who champion traditional cinema. Netflix film Okja, starring Tilda Swinton, was booed by some journalists in 2017 when it played at the Cannes Film Festival.
